Need amp suggestion for PBN Montana EPS2.


I need a power amp to drive my Eps2. I have tried Bryston 4bsst-c, Spectron Musician III, Symphonic line RG7 MK3 with no success. Your suggestions would be helpful.

The happy end !!!
I was very lucky to find the amp of my dreams.
A Mark Levinson 336 now rests on the rack and feeds the Montanas with 350W.
We are all, the gear and me, very happy.
Thank you all for your participation.

The problem (my problem) is that i dont want to paly with tubes anymnore.
Thats the reason that i am looking for some solid state gear.
thanks a lot for your responce.
LEt me tell you the rest of the gear. Cary slp98 and symphonic line RG9 MK ii. Cary cdp 303/300.
Bryston is the best overall performer so far but i miss the magic. the highs are a bit hursh and the mids are lean. The bottom is not what EPS2 can give.
Spectron has lean sound for me. i could use it just for the woofers.
RG7 mids are very "electronic". i loved the EPS2 with Cary v12 monos but i am looking for some ss.
@Maich it was really helpful indeed.
I was thinking about a second hand sa250mk4 or a pair of sa102 or 103.

What pre are u using with plinius?
Next week i am going to audition Plinius sa 102 and mcintosh c2300.
I will let you know.
I have the same impression with you but some friend told me that this amp is something special.
i see that the Montana owners are few.
i thought we sould be much more.
Any way.
I just audiotioned a set up with mcintosh. Not my style.
Tomorow i have a date with a plinius sa 102.
I managed to listen to a pass labs x350.5 and a Krell but i dont remember the model.
THank you all for your responce.

@Wrm57 thanks a lot. let me ask you what speaker cables you use.

@Shakeydeal from my experience with Eps2, i think that the amp is not enough.
